Fred the Mole ... has a fight to the death

Once upon a time there was a mole named Fred .He was a happy little mole. He lived in a box at the end of Toby's garden. Toby loved and cared for Fred. One day as Toby was cutting the grass he saw Fred digging a tunnel out of the garden.

“Where are you going?” he asked Fred.

Fred replied as best he could by saying “I'm going away for a while - you don't appreciate me anymore”.

Fred then kept on digging. Toby was shocked and also appalled at how rude Fred had been.

He replied “Fred - have I not looked after you when you are ill?”

“Yes - Of course” said Fred

“Have I not fed you and watered you?”

“You have”

“Then why won't you stay and how have I been mean Fred?”

“You never invite me inside for tea, or let me have a shower .You never take me to a burger joint like you do your other friends - To you I'm just a pet not a friend”

“You've never wanted any of that stuff” replied Toby, “You've always said that you hate burgers, that showers scare you, that you don't understand why I don't just live in a box, and that you don't want to be a friend - just a pet”

...

“Oh yeah” said Fred pulling out a gun from his pink and red waistcoat. Toby was confused but revealed his weapon of choice also - A samurai sword.

“You challenge me to a duel” said Toby wiping his mouth, “I don't think that you have the nerve to take me on”

The servants ran off scared closing the palace gates behind them. Fred fired his gun at Toby. But by the time the bullet reached where Toby's head had been Toby has wrestled Fred to the floor. A punch up followed. Fred's eyes were red with anger. Never had he been so betrayed. He shot again. This bullet hit a vase on the other side of the room.

“Give up now Toby, You have no chance of escape”

Just then a large meteor hit the palace killing them all, except Toby who miraculously escaped.

THE MORALS OF THIS STORY ARE:

1. Never change the characters and storyline half way through.

2. Never talk to moles.

3. Take your pets out to a burger joint once a week.

4. Never say, " You have no chance of escape " to the goodie in a film. It will add to the humiliation when he escapes.
